iPad video – hands on
Here’s a 7 minute video from Engadget showing the iPad in action. Looks kind of neat, but there’s still a bunch of things that aren’t working yet.
Apple launches iPad
That Apple should announce some kind of touch device today wasn’t a surprise for anybody. The news has been all over the last couple of days and today Steve Jobs showed the final product. It’s a beautiful product that fits right between the iPhone and the MacBook in their product portfolio. There’s a bunch of models available, where the difference between them is storage and whether they have a 3G module or not. I really like the product, but there are a couple of things that disappoint me: 1.) There’s no USB port. 2.) The aspect ratio of the screen is 4:3 (I would prefer 16:9). 3.) I have to wait 90 days to get hold of a 3G version

Bumptop
Bumptop is a really clever application that will extend your desktop into a 3D workspace. You can easily organize all your documents into piles and you can even pin important files onto one of the walls. I have been using the free version for a couple of days, and today I bought the full version ($29). I have embedded a video inside so you can see the application in action.
